Daffy Duck turned 80 last month. An article in Mother Jones from April  2014 included these words in its title,  “Daffy Duck, Glorious Archetype of Selfishness.” The article goes on to say, “Daffy became the crafty, scheming, plotting back-stabber who, motivated by unrestrained selfishness, will do anything to get what he wants, but in the end always comes up short.”
